Adesso
Adesso, meaning "Now" in Italian was founded in 1994 by Lee Schaak, who leads the design force and Peggy Traub, a former Bloomingdale’s DMM. We are headquartered in New York City, the design center of the USA. Adesso’s specialties are fresh, contemporary, affordable lighting and furniture. Adesso is a design driven company with a proven global appeal.
Adesso creates new designs and uses new technologies in our lamps and furniture, always at outstanding values. Our mission to create high design products for the masses is working, and has allowed us to be found at the leading retailers in the world.
ADESSO IS AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN INNOVATION Smart Device Charging: AdessoCharge is our collection of wireless charging lamps, but we led the charge in charging port lamps by adding USB ports to our lamps as early as 2006.
LED: We have a progressive LED assortment that is top notch in the industry. Adesso was the first in the US lighting industry to ship portable LED product back in 2003.
Lamp Shades: We take great pride in the unique beauty of our lamp shade fabrics. The shade is the most important part of a table or floor lamp. Our innovative shades elevate the Adesso lighting experience. We use high quality materials that are made for longevity and we specifically work with fabrics that are beautiful whether the lamp is turned on or off.
Smart Switch: Always keeping a close eye on trends and technology, we have brought health & wellness into our lighting by creating a sleek smart switch that can adjust the color temperature of your lamp in order to sync up your circadian rhythm. Adesso does this without compromising design, and without the high price points.
THE BEST FOR THE BEST. Adesso’s success is the fruit of innovation, contemporary craftsmanship, high quality product, and our ability to provide high design to the masses. Our company has an extremely wide range of distribution, consisting of mass merchants (Walmart, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot), upscale retailers (Pottery Barn, West Elm, Restoration Hardware, Crate & Barrel, Macy’s, etc.) and ecommerce customers (Amazon, Wayfair, Staples, Lowes, Houzz, etc.). In addition, unlike the typical big box assortment, Adesso products are sought after with an industry leading product line for independent upscale retailers, furniture stores and contract/design markets.
IT IS THIS UNIQUE 2 PRONGED STRATEGY THAT GIVES ADESSO OUR GREATEST COMPETITIVE EDGE. Our numerous “data touch points” with the industry and the customer provide Adesso and, ultimately our customers, with in-depth market research and strategies to successfully drive sales and profits.
